Where have I been?
I don’t do a ton of personal posts on tumblr but I’ve been m.i.a. lately and thought I’d give an update.
- In September I left my job of 9 years to branch out on my own. It was a huge risk but it was time to try and do what I love. It’s been terrifying and exciting. Working for myself and contracting out has really worked and I wake up every day thankful and inspired. It’s pretty bad ass.
- S and I are planning to get hitched. That is some amazing shit. I feel totally lucky that I get to marry my best friend. (This is the shortest part of the update because I get excited and overwhelmed, in a good way, every time I think about it. There aren’t words for how happy I am.)
- We’re also house hunting which is exciting and mind blowing. We met with a realtor today and I feel a lot better knowing we have someone on our side who knows what the hell they’re doing.
- Derby is on hold right now. I miss skating like crazy but I have a lot of stuff going on and had to be honest with myself about the time I have and what I can commit to the league. I hope when things get back to a more normal routine I’ll be back on the track. In the meantime I need to start running again because no skating + a love of good beer and food + Vermont winters will make your ass fat in no time.
- My girl has been busy too with her Shakespeare group and band and chorus and basketball. What can I say, we love to stay busy.
So the result of ally his craziness is that I have had very little time for tumblr (though I do miss you) or friends or sometimes even sleep but I’m happier than I’ve been in a long time and that feels wonderful.
S and I are taking a trip to NYC in March for a few days sans kids and I’m looking forward to some oysters and some beer (I’m looking at you Sixpoint and Blind Tiger) and some good old fashioned no-work-grownup-playtime.
In the meantime, I’ll be around when I can posting Archer gifs, beer pics, sailing pics in the summer (!), and random things that strike my fancy or that I think S will like (which is after all how this blog started).
Love,
e
PS I’m planning my next tattoo with Devin.

There’s not enough liquor and therapy in the world to undo that
Had so much fun with my girls at the GMDD skate night! It was so wonderful to put on skates and see my Dames. ❤ (Taken with Instagram at Champlain Valley Exposition)
There’s a college event called the PV shuffle. From what I can gather, dorms are given a minute of choreography to the same song and then they all amass in a gym and compete. The most recent competition was set to the the ASS song. Some times there’s only one person in the dorm/ building who will compete. Like this kid. This kid IS VERY FUCKING GOOD.
I watched more of these than I care to admit.

Jam Skating is un-fuckingreal!
I believe that’s Fia Fasi Oe from Pirate City Rollers & Team New Zealand.
When I grow up I want to be a jam skater.
